The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) final exams for classes X and XII will start from March 1. The first exam for Class X will be painting and for Class XII it will be English.
CBSE regional officer K K Choudhury said, "The preparation for the examinations has already started. The question papers have already been dispatched from Delhi to the different centres. There are around 285 centres all over the northeast, and around 753 schools in the northeast from which approximately 85,000 candidates of classes X and XII would be appearing for the exams."
He added that although at the senior secondary level, that is, Class XII, students can opt for either board-conducted school-conducted examination, it is seen that in the northeast, students prefer the exam conducted by the board.
The regional officer also said that this year, CBSE has introduced the board's international curriculum in Indian schools and this has been notified to schools in the northeast as well.
"The CBSE international curriculum would be more project-based and the schools would now offer both the courses for students to choose from. The CBSE international curriculum would vary across regions as we have included region-specific issues and important historical events in the social science subject," Choudhury said.
That international curriculum needs to be handled differently altogether, as it is quite unlike the regular course, but it would surely benefit the students, he said.
The CBSE curriculum is also stressing more on vocational subjects, and hospitality and tourism are the latest subjects that have been introduced in the curriculum. "Vocational subjects are the need of the hour and the idea is to provide the students the option of studying subjects that would help them professionally after the board finals," the CBSE regional officer said.
